You see ONE tiktok edit and suddenly you're shipping Walter and Scooter from the Muppets
Uuuh and before going a final sketch I made for Geneuary2025 heavily inspired by @gaywriterthings art specifically for day 3 Music, I've been loving their art for Geneuary, I'm glad this event made me meet such an amazing artist
thanks again @golden--doodler for such an amazing event
I actually also felt inspired and made other piece for Music, that one fresh out of my brain buuuut I forgot to save it in my phone, so I'll post it when I come back š
Love this episode, I rewatch it again to do this piece and I just love it, I dont ship Gene and Courtney romantically but I love them both and their bond deeply
There's some stuff that didn't made the final cut, and I want to edit it a little more, but I like it IS JUST A SKETCH THOUGH
Yesterday, Palestinian and solidarity organizers disrupted a Biden campaign event 14 times during his speech on the protection of women's rights. These activists called out hypocrisy because Biden and his administration are actively causing a reproductive care catastrophe in Gaza.
50,000 pregnant women do not have access to healthcare in Gaza, and C-sections are being performed without anesthesia. Women and children in Gaza are being killed by U.S.-made and supplied bombs.
described by @winged-wolf-s-collection-of-arts
[ID: Transcription of what the protesters are saying, while security personnel try to get them out:
Israel kills two mothers every hour in Gaza. Ceasefire now! End the genocide! Ceasefire!
Women in Gaza are being murdered. Killing people in Gaza is a war crime. You are a war criminal.
Stop funding genocide! Ceasefire now!
50,000 pregnant women don't have healthcare. Their blood is on your hands. Ceasefire!
Ceasefire now! Stop funding genocide! Gaza is a reproductive issue.
Free, free Palestine!

A short textual recap of the Succession-style coup Cub just carried out (Timestamp: Grian s10 e21 14:40-29:30)
Grian, Scar and Skizz all receive a mysterious summons to a disciplinary hearing to discuss ārestructuringā at the Permit Office.
Scar and Skizz turn up thinking theyāre in trouble with Grian. Grian, who has received two warnings for completely unfair reasons like ānot doing his jobā, knows heās in trouble with Mysterious HQ Person (Grian, terrified but curious: Is it Doc??).
Waiting nervously, all three of them agree that their collective efforts are a shambles, a mild blame game ensues, also a horse is here and they canāt kill it because Judge Bdubs would object.
A flying figure approaches.
To Grian and Skizzās surprise and Scarās delight, itās Cub.
Cub times his slow-falling potions to sink slowly and dramatically to the ground in a completely horizontal position. (Cub: Hello, boys) (Scar: Hello, God!)
Cub has a red tie and a gold name tag and performs an immediate show of dominance by taming the horse and handing out golden apples.
Scar: yeah that horse wasā
Cub: itās my horse now
Grian, eating the apple: Heās trying to butter us up. Skizz, donāt eat the apples.
Cub: Grian, I have some excellent news for you, my friend. Youāre fired.
Grian: Iām whatā
Cub: And also rehired! To a lesser position.
Grian: So Iām, what, assistant permit manager?
Cub: assistant TO the permit manager.
Cub: thatās me.
Cub: Iām sorry you had to find out this way
Grian: [into his hands] Iām so relieved I hate this job so much
Grian: ITāS NOT FUN AND I CANāT CONTROL IT. LOOK AT THE SHOPPING DISTRICT. THEREāS POP UP SHOPS EVERYWHERE.
Grian: even Iāve got a pop up shop!!
Cub: Grian and I share a similar sentiment, which is that the permits shouldnāt exist
Cub: which is why we both have these jobs
Scar: But⦠but it was you two who came up with the idea of permits in the first place!
Cub: yeah
Cub: but you were supposed to enforce it
At this point it should be noted Cub has variously a) claimed he's been sent by the higher ups and he didn't want to do this but, boys, he has to, b) claimed he is one of the higher ups, c) claimed he's 'quite high up but not so much' d) vehemently denied that there exists anyone who has a fancier name tag than he does
Cub forces them into an immediate tour of the shopping district
There really are pop up shops everywhere
Cub: Alright, here's some TNT.
Grian: er! wait! I dunnoā!
Cub: What.
Grian: Maybe we should give people some warning?
Cub: Hm
Scar: We did! We have a thing! I built a redstone countdown clock! [waves at the contraption of stacked red-yellow-white pillars he spent several weeks on]
Grian: Scar, that HASN'T MOVED SINCE YOU BUILT IT
Scar: It does move! It's just going slowly!
Cub: We need to move faster.
Scar: I can adjust it. This is 2024 advanced redstone. I can change it. [flies off]
Skizz: Can he reallyā
Grian, resigned: He's just going to mine it. [Scar mines it]
Skizz: Can I take a shot at him?
Cub: Fire away, Skizz
Grian: I'm not sure about this new management!
Meanwhile Cub has been contemplating the nearest popups in a critical way.
Cub: I'm going to be honest, I'm part of this glass collective, and even I want to see this one blown up.
Grian: Look, boss, what if we put a big billboard up that says 'Pop up purge'... certain date.
Cub: Hm.
Cub: That's very reasonable. I was just going to blow stuff up, but if you want to do that, I think it's a good choice.
Grian: How much time are you giving them, boss?
Skizz: Well, that's what the timer wasā
Scar: I HAVE A TIMER! IT'S COUNTING DOWN!
Cub: We want to do this lickety-split. Let's go two weeks.
Grian: [repeating to himself under his breath] Two weeks!
Scar: I'll program the redstone!
Cub: You program it in, Scar. Grian, you make the billboard. Skizzā¦
Skizz: Yeah?
Cub: ā¦you keep on keeping on, baby.
Cub: You've been the background of this whole operation, Skizz.
Skizz now dramatically attempts to get them to a high point so they can look at the layout of the shopping district, a simple task stymied only by the fact Scar and Grian both refuse to take any instructions unless they come from Cub
Cub then orders that pop up shops will be confiscated to Scar and Skizz's enforcement office. Grian very curious about the punishment for permit violations. Scar suggests banishing violators to the far reaches by Doc's 'shooty-offy cannon'. Cub approves this exile penalty enthusiastically.
Cub: Alright.
Grian: There's a storm comin'.
Scar: [looks up at the blue sky] Really?
Skizz: Us. He means us.
Grian: It's more like a moderate breeze.
Skizz: Well, that's official, we're under new management! And the tone Iām getting is that Rub-a-Dub-Cub is not messinā around.
Cub: You guys gotta get to it.
[Actual in-game storm starts]
Grian: There is a storm coming.
Scar: A storm of pain!
Grian: [to Cub] I'm so relieved. I couldnāt keep control of any of this.
Cub: It's alright, Grian. [PEAL OF IN-GAME THUNDER] We'll keep people in line.
Grian: It feels like the permit office has taken a really dark turn
Cub: Nah, it'll be fine. People will care about their permits! [MORE THUNDER] People will comply. :)
DESPERATELY need a korvo and jesse / terry and yumyulack episode
